    Adam Scott golf swing

    I was waiting in the barber shop the other day, reading an older golf magazine. The short article, with 3 pictures, says a few years back Adam Scott simplified his swing to:
    1. He swings the club up/back with his wrists only, parallel to the ground.
    2. Then he simply turns his shoulders 90 deg.- club does not go all the way back to a parallel position, say maybe about an 85% swing.
    3. He unwinds & whacks the ball.
    No mention of swinging the arms back. Or forward, for that matter. C'mon-can it be that simple?
    His instructor is supposed to be Butch Harmon and his swing is supposed to mimick Tiger Woods.
    (my slow-speed dial-up won't let me watch videos so I need you guys to set me straight here!)
    Thanks....Wil

    EDIT: and BTW, his average drive is 298 yards, maximum drive 358 yards. This dude knows how to hit!

    Dig out the threads here on this site on 'The 4 magic moves' by Joe Dante. This swing method adopts an early wrist break and a rotation of the shoulders, it can work well.

    The following link takes you to a site that shows the Joe Dante '4 Magic Moves' swing system.

      OK Brian and Thanks.

      As long as I've got you captive here, one more question:

      Generally speaking, at what position should the hips be facing at impact;
      1. Parallel to the target line?
      2. Facing ahead of the ball?
      3. Facing behind the ball?
      4. or it really doesn't matter that much.
      In some photos it appears at the moment of impact the hips are facing ahead of the ball.
      Thanks again...Wil

        Hi Wil,

        At impact your hips should have rotated around 30/40 deg forward of the ball. This will act to move your weight to the front leg and bring your swing centre slightly ahead of the ball. Your head needs to stay back just behind the ball though.

        I posted this video on another thread, it may be helpful to you:
